Many Indian car buyers want ground clearance because of the varied and often difficult road conditions in the country. Ground clearance of the Celerio is relatively high for the segment and has generated discussions about the practical benefits of it. In this topic we analyse the impact of the clearance on daily driving, particularly in roads with poor infrastructure or during the monsoon season. Additionally we also cover the trade offs between ground clearance and other areas such as handling and stability when traveling at higher speeds. The argument even goes so far as to compare the Celerio's abilities to those of compact SUVs and crossovers, which are hard sold for their ground clearance.
